Chapter 27: Attack on a Moonlit Night
As time went by, Yu Xiao's mind was completely immersed in practicing "Taiyin Seventy-Two Chapters".
He didn't know that the lake water around him was constantly rotating around him in an extremely strange manner and converging towards the center.
Every time the lake water rotates once, the height of the lake surface will drop by one point, as if part of the water in the lake has evaporated out of thin air and disappeared without a trace.
This lasted for nearly an hour, and at this time, the drop of water in the ocean of Yu Xiao was undergoing magical changes.
The first and most intuitive thing is that the size of the water droplet is slowly shrinking. After a while, it is only the size of the thumbnail, and it is still condensing.
When the fist-sized water droplet turned into a grain of rice, the mana in his sea of qi was pulled by a weak force and slowly integrated into it.
The next change was that the grain of rice grew a short tail, and then suddenly started swimming without any warning, as if it was alive.
Its current appearance is like a fry swimming back and forth in the sea of air, tirelessly.
Such a scene really made Yu Xiao feel amazing. The Water Flower that he had worked hard to cultivate for more than three years was just gone?
However, after careful inspection, he discovered that although the water droplet had become smaller, the energy contained in it had not weakened at all. On the contrary, it had grown much stronger, exuding frightening fluctuations and being extremely cold.
"Is this... over? It doesn't seem to be as complicated as imagined."
Yu Xiao opened his eyes and murmured that the whole process was smooth sailing, without any obstacles during the process. Compared to the first level of cultivation, it was ten thousand times easier.
But his intuition told him that the second level of "The Seventy-Two Chapters of Taiyin" would never be that simple. Perhaps this was the reason why he did not fully understand it.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that the lake beneath him had dried up and bottomed out, exposing the mud and rocks at the bottom.
Moreover, the land and trees near the small lake seemed to have been drained of vitality and moisture. The ground was dry and cracked, and the trees and vegetation were dead, just like a barren land that had been dry for a long time.
Yu Xiao was so frightened by this scene that she took a deep breath to calm down the strange movements in her heart. No wonder the technique specifically stated that you must find a place with abundant water to practice.
Fortunately, he didn't try it rashly in the cave. I'm afraid that once he started, it would unknowingly affect the surrounding environment, which was indeed a bit scary.
Now this area has become like this, and I am afraid it will not be able to recover in a short time. Fortunately, he is the mountain guard disciple responsible for patrolling this area.
As long as he didn't say anything, no one would notice the weirdness of this place.
Even if he was discovered later, he could definitely say that it was the monster's fault, and then say that the monster had been killed by him, completely shirk the responsibility.
Generally speaking, as long as the monks in the alchemy stage don't get involved, there shouldn't be any clues.
Besides, such trivial matters are not enough to attract the attention of monks in the Danjie stage.
After feeling a little more at ease, Yu Xiao no longer hesitated, put away the formation flag, cleaned up the traces of his visit, and prepared to return to the cave.
However, at this moment, there was a roar from the front, and then a blurry figure suddenly jumped out of the darkness, and a sharp cold light rushed towards the door.
Yu Xiao was shocked, where did this person come from? His scalp suddenly felt numb, as if it had been torn apart. Without any time to think about it, he raised his hand and blasted out a fire snake.
Bang!
The two collided, and sparks flew out in an instant. The fire snake didn't even hold on for a second, and it turned into little spiritual lights and disappeared.
Being hit by the huge force, Yu Xiao flew backwards and flipped on the ground several times before barely stopping.
Looking at the blurry figure at this time, it looked extremely ferocious and terrifying in the moonlight, with disheveled hair, scarlet eyes, and heavy breathing coming from the mouth. The whole person was like a mad beast, exuding a bloodthirsty desire to kill.
Although the man's facial features are somewhat distorted, it is not difficult to tell that he should be a man, and he is also wearing the dustproof uniform of a registered disciple of Luoxia Peak.
Obviously this person is also a disciple of Fuguang Sect, and his cultivation level is not low, he has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
It's just that Yu Xiao doesn't understand why the other party suddenly attacked him. You should know that ordinary private fights between disciples are at most a violation of the sect rules, and they are punished to face the wall and think about their mistakes.
But if we attack the disciples of Shoushan, the situation will be completely different.
The disciples guarding the mountain are responsible for part of the sect's security and defense tasks. If they are attacked, they can only encounter the enemy, which is an enemy attack.
So although the disciples of Guard Mountain are not very eye-catching, they are also extremely important in the sect. During their tenure, almost no one will take action against them without opening their eyes.
Before Yu Xiao could ask, the man let out a crazy roar and rushed at him again without saying a word.
His fists were like mountains weighing ten thousand kilograms. The air waves generated by the bombardment in the air directly cut off the trees on both sides. During the attack, the ground under his feet also cracked countless cracks.
Seeing this, Yu Xiao's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he decisively took out the Magic Cloud Bell, activated it and put it on his head.
It was too late, but then it was too late. At this moment, the man had already come closer and punched me hard.
Dang!
This punch hit the Demon Cloud Bell, and it made a clear ringing sound. The ripples it created made the surrounding air roar and explode, like thousands of drums beating in the ears.
Yu Xiao still stood there unmoved. After all, the Magic Cloud Bell was a low-grade magic weapon with twenty restrictions, so how could it be shaken so easily.
On the other hand, the man's punch was like hitting an iron plate. The terrifying force directly shook him so that a ball of blood mist burst out of his arm, and some sounds of broken bones could be heard.
But the strange thing is that the man didn't seem to react at all. He bounced up from the ground, his face became more crazy and distorted, and his whole body was ignited with bloody aura, and his aura began to rise steadily, reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"Huh? Can your cultivation level be improved?"
Yu Xiao frowned, feeling vaguely that something was wrong. He raised his palm, held the precious fan in his hand, and waved several rays of fire towards the man.
The fire burned violently in the wind and turned into a rapidly swooping firebird. It fell in the blink of an eye, turning the area into a sea of fire.
Even if he is an immortal cultivator, his physical body cannot achieve immortality, let alone a monk in the Qi refining stage. He seems to be very powerful, but he seems to have little or no fighting experience. He doesn't even use magic weapons, he looks like a fool.
Like an egg, he stood there without moving or hiding.
After the treasure fan was recast, it could release extremely high-temperature flames, which were basically difficult for ordinary monks to resist. The man persisted for several breaths, but in the end it was reduced to a pile of ashes.
When things got to this point, Yu Xiao was a little confused.
The man appeared inexplicably and died in a strange way. The battle was over before he even reacted.
It's a pity that after the man died, nothing fell from him, not even a storage bag.
Alert Yu Xiao quickly realized something was wrong.
Generally, monks keep their storage bags close to their bodies, and store their important things, especially magic weapons and the like, for easy access at any time.
As a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, how could he not have his own storage bag?
"It's really evil!"
Yu Xiao was puzzled and simply ignored it. He didn't even plan to report the matter to the patrol hall. It would be bad if the superiors tracked it down and discovered his secret.
